Thanks Kathy very much. Welcome to startcooking. Good luck at school and I am delighted to be able to be a help to you in learning how to cook! If you look carefully, the handle of the knife in the bottom photo is oddly shaped. The designer of this flatware clearly has made up new rules!
What a lovely post on table settings. I am planning an Italian dinner party. Where should I place the little olive oil dish for bread dipping? I will have a dinner plate, salad plate, bread plate and a wine glass on the table at the same time. At restaurants one dish is often shared and set in the center of the table.
I have also seen the dishes placed on the left side near the bread dish. And I have a simple trick for remembering in what order to set the utensils: alphabetically! For an informal table: Place them under the forks, or in the middle of the place setting. For an informal table: Just break bread together the low-key way and pass a bread basket around the table.

Even paper napkins should go on your lap! Imagine you are at a very formal, multi-course dinner and there is a salad fork, a dinner fork, and a fish fork on top of your napkin. You scoop them up to put your napkin on your lap and now have a handful of forks. If you have a photographic memory, putting them down in the right order might not be hard, but for the rest of us, it might be a challenge.
